Yes contact your doctor.Though sorethroat alone can cause vomiting due to inflammed swallowing area.But fever and vomiting along with deranged neurological signs can be due to brain membranes inflammation.Or vomiting alone can be a cause of raised Intracranial pressure (pressure inside head cavity by fluid).Not meant to scare you but contact your doctor for timely management.
